> t would be very useful to add a mechanism to distribute some information to the clients and regionservers. Especially It would be useful to know globally (regionservers + clients apps) that some regionservers are dead. This would allow:
> - to lower the load on the system, without clients using staled information and going on dead machines
> - to make the recovery faster from a client point of view. It's common to use large timeouts on the client side, so the client may need a lot of time before declaring a region server dead and trying another one. If the client receives the information separatly about a region server states, it can take the right decision, and continue/stop to wait accordingly.
> We can also send more information, for example instructions like 'slow down' to instruct the client to increase the retries delay and so on.
>  Technically, the master could send this information. To lower the load on the system, we should:
> - have a multicast communication (i.e. the master does not have to connect to all servers by tcp), with once packet every 10 seconds or so.
> - receivers should not depend on this: if the information is available great. If not, it should not break anything.
> - it should be optional.
> So at the end we would have a thread in the master sending a protobuf message about the dead servers on a multicast socket. If the socket is not configured, it does not do anything. On the client side, when we receive an information that a node is dead, we refresh the cache about it.
